Dispositif gyroscopique à aiguille, destiné à indiquer l'inclinaison prise par un aéronef lorsqu'il vire. 2, record 1, French, - indicateur%20de%20virage
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Indicateur de virage et d'inclinaison latérale. [...] Le principe de base gouvernant le fonctionnement de l'indicateur de virage est la précession gyroscopique. Le rotor est monté sur un cardan. Lorsque l'avion effectue un virage à droite ou à gauche, le rotor «précesse» autour de son axe de rotation et fait rouler le cardan. À son tour, le mouvement rotatoire du cardan fait bouger l'aiguille sur le devant de l'instrument. Un ressort renvoie le gyroscope au neutre lorsque l'avion cesse de virer. L'indicateur de virage indique le «taux» de virage et non «l'amplitude». Le taux standard, ou virage au taux 1, est égal à 3 degrés par seconde ou 360 degrés en deux minutes. 3, record 1, French, - indicateur%20de%20virage
